Dispute resolution process
Suppliers can send invoice and payment queries to the global accounts payable team at aphelpdesk.europe@tweglobal.com
Treasury Wine Estates has a "no purchase order number, no pay" policy. Invoices received by accounts payable without a valid TWE purchase order number stated on them are rejected and the supplier is informed of this with information detailing the reason of the rejection and how to rectify the issue.
More complex disputes between the supplier and TWE (such as pricing and inventory) are managed between the supplier and the relevant TWE employee who manages the ordering of the relevant goods and services.
Any resubmitted invoice is then normally paid within terms.
